I have been a Directv subscriber for over 10 years and have subscribed to the Xtra package for several months. A few weeks ago I received a phone call from Directv (or an outside marketer - ??) offering me an upgrade to Ultimate plus Sunday Ticket and all Premium movie channels for an additional $5.99 per month for 3 months. After 3 months I could keep Ultimate at the regular price or downgrade if I wished. The premiums would go away at that time but I would continue to get Sunday Ticket for the rest of the NFL season in either case. There was a one-year Directv commitment, which was no big deal.

Essentially it was for Sunday Ticket plus 3 months of all Premium movie channels for $17.97, which sounds like a good deal to me . I initially turned it down but after receiving two more calls with the same offer I decided to go for it. I'll probably call next year and cancel Sunday Ticket before it renews.

Never heard about the other goodies being offered but, i do know that Directv offered us Sunday Ticket for free with a one year agreement.. I guess they finally decided it was time to do something about all the calls for free Sunday ticket...

I got a similar deal last year but it was free extra inning instead of Sunday ticket. I think it's to get you to switch out of a legacy package. Though when they processed mine they messed it up and I still have a legacy package hahaha
